Deck of Me- Note to Self

For my note to self card, I wrote: Cherish the beauties of life. There are so many little beauties of life that are so often un-noticed because we are so busy with our day to day life. This week, I want to take a moment in my day and escape all the craziness to realize all of the beauties that are around me. The beach, sunshine, flowers, mountains, singing birds.... so many beautiful things. I remember when I went to Germany with my sister. We were a little stressed because we were having a hard time finding where we were going. All of a sudden a really cute girl with down syndrome hopped off her school bus in front of her house. Before running to her front door she smelled just about every single flower in her garden. I never forgot this. She took the moment to not just cherish one beauty of life, but she cherished every single beauty from the bus to her doorstep. I really want to take more time to do this because we are surrounded by so many amazing things!
